Source: World Bank + derived·Method: Mixed·✓ ReconstructableⓘGovernance, Economy and Politics use live World Bank / WGI indicators. Institutional Integrity (V-Dem), Vision (WIPO/Oxford/UNESCO), Defense (real force counts), Crisis Response (World Bank + UCDP + WGI), Communication (GDELT) and Diplomacy (the Diplomatic Signal) are sourced or derived signals.

Method: Unweighted average
·✓ ReconstructableⓘCountry scores are the unweighted average of scored World Bank indicators — the same model used on the nation's own page. Difficulty reflects structural constraints on governing this nation, independent of the current leader, and is used to compute the Difficulty-Adjusted Score.
SourceDerivedMethodRule-based classificationConfDeterministic✓ ReconstructableⓘArchetypes are derived automatically from the leadership stat profile — not hand-assigned. No archetype is assigned when the profile lacks a qualifying signal: the leader reads as "No data", never a fallback label. A secondary archetype is added only when a stat scores exceptionally high.
SourceWorld Bank GDP + UCDP deaths (annual + Candidate GED) + WGI stabilityMethodCountry-year shock severity · peer-relative damageConfLow✓ ReconstructableⓘCrisis Exposure measures how severely a leader was tested — a peak-biased aggregate of per-year shock severity (conflict intensity, economic contraction and political-stability decline vs. recent normal) over the mandate. It is context, not a verdict: high exposure is neither good nor bad on its own. Crisis Response measures how the country fared during its genuine crisis years relative to comparable crisis episodes worldwide — country-years hit with the same shock severity. Higher = less national damage than peers at that severity. Leaders who never faced a major shock are marked Untested rather than rewarded. Per country-year, real WB/UCDP/WGI shocks are winsorised and percentile-ranked into a ShockSeverity; Exposure is the peak-biased mandate aggregate. Crisis years (severity ≥ 60) score Response = 100 − damage percentile among comparable-severity crises worldwide, then severity-weighted over the mandate. Untested = no major shock (never rewarded). Absent components are reweighted, never filled.
